Summary

In a Special Criminal Court hearing, Declan Duffy, aged 43, faces a bail application while charged with three counts of false imprisonment and violent disorder linked to an incident at The Towers, Garters Lane, Saggart, on 9 June 2015. The bail hearing, held at Cloverhill District Court, included objections from Gardaí citing Duffy as a flight risk, and from Detective Chief Superintendent Lorraine Wheatley, who invoked Section 2A of the Bail Act to argue that denying bail was necessary to prevent a serious offence. Judge Tony Hunt, with Judges Martin Nolan and Cormac Dunne, will decide the application tomorrow morning.
